[ C O M M E N T O F T H E M O N T H ] Vibing at 80

I want Buffy Sainte-Marie’s whole vibe when

I’m 80. Scratch that—I want it NOW. What a total joy-bomb of a cover! — Deborah Aarts

Where credit’s due

I certainly feel badly for the actors who nobly decide to stay and work in Canada: the casts and crews who earned 2021 Canadian Screen Award (CSA) nominations, and the ones whose awards ceremony you neglected to mention in your latest issue [“Feel sorry for movie stars,” April]. In it, you noted the SAG awards, BAFTAs, Independent Spirit awards and the Academy Awards, but no CSAs. Canadian “movie stars” deserve more from Chatelaine. — Beth Gleason, Penticton, B.C.

Missed opportunity

I have been a Chatelaine subscriber for years. I was happy to receive my Green Issue [April]. One of my long-time peeves, however, was even more troubling than usual when my Green Issue came wrapped in the same old single-use plastic. Why would Chatelaine not use the opportunity to take a small leap forward and help the world stop filling landfills, lakes and oceans with the substance that is so damaging to so much of the earth? I look forward to the day when my Chatelaine arrives in a plain brown compostable (or at least recyclable) paper wrapper. — Anonymous

History well recorded

Read Raina Delisle’s “Collision course” [April]. Great bit of true history, well recorded! Effectively shared because you and others cared! Thank you! Merci! Miigwetch! — David Lance, Bradford, Ont.

All for profit

Sad commentary on Canada [“Collision course,” April], how they treat Indigenous people and use the poor and economically disadvantaged to dump on. All for the profit of the industry. Yes, the U.S. does, too. Shameful. — @FredSiegel13

Smile mail

I LOVED this cover [April]. Buffy’s beautiful smile instantly uplifted my spirits when I received it in the mail <3 — @ClaraHo88

Thrifting reality

Such an interesting read [“The secret life of second-hand clothing,” April]. Love that so many teens (like mine) are into thrifting, but good to know the big picture is not all rosy. — @CShorthouse
